The HIeditated Suicide.

Speaking of suicideS-there have been sever
al lately, ard good many people are talking
about then-a story is told confidentially by
worthy citizen, who contemplated shufiiing
off this mortal coil. He thought of it and
thinks he was in earnest, but this doubt, be-
cause killing ones self is said to be painful
operation, and the worthy citizen is man
who is extremely careful of his own comfort.
However, business had gone wrong, another
man had secured the church pew he had set
his heart upon, rents had been raised, he
wasn't very well any way, and life didn't
seem worth living His wife would get his
insurance money; she knew much about
his business as he did himself, and could get
along without him.
That night he took home box of Rough
on Rats. land after his wife had retired, took
it out and read the directions. Then he got out
his razor and strapped it and loaded his re-
yolver He didn't know which method he
would use, or whether he would try all and
make a sure thing of it. He would decide
after the razor was properly sharpened. Then
he strapped away, and while he was trying to
cut hair a sleepy voice came from the next
room: George, Uncle John brought us a
gallon Of new maple syrup today, and we
will have frtters and syrup for breakfast. l
ht-you'd-like-to know" The razor
and pistol were laid away promptly; life took
on more roseate aspect, and the next morn
ing after breakfast the Rough on Rats" was
carefully distributed along the trail Of
Troublesome vermin. George still continues

recent issue of Mind contains an account
of an interesting series Of experiments on the
limit of the capacity to repeat Il series of
sounds after hearing them read once. A
German cXperimenter, EbbinghauS, had
studied the powers of he.memory hy count
ing the number of times given series of nom
sense syllables had TO be repeated in order to
enable the nearer to reproduce them hy rote.
Mr.. Joseph Jacobs with the cooperation Of
Mr. Sully, Mr. Read and Mrs. Bryant has
carried a similar means of testing the
memory Tor, as they more accurately call it,
the 'prehenSon'1 into the school room. The
method was somewhat simpler. Instead of
nonsense syllables for instance, dak-mil-tak-
bin-roZ), which are very disturbing, the
names of the letters (omitting double M and
of the numerals tomitting seven) wore chosen;
and the maximum number of letters and
numbers that e child could repc2; after one
reading WIS called its "span." Care was
taken TO pronounce the words as mccotcnous-
ly and as regularly as possible i order to
avoid any assistance to the memory from a
more or less decided rhythm. IN numbers
of letters We're dictated to the ,'s>S. each
member OF which then usually vro.e down
as accurately as possible the series al letters
or numbers. The results thus reccled were
quite interesting. Science.

CHANGES IN WASHINGTON SOCIETY
A Brief Interview with Mrs. Speaker
Notwithstanding Calls.

A Brief Interview with Mrs. Speaker
Notwithstanding Calls.
3Changes in the tone of Washington So
ciety?n said Mrs. Speaker Carlisle, as she sat
in the parIor Of the Gilsey house. Mrs. Car
Isle is pleasant looking lady. who in her
youth was handsome, but her face begins to
bear the marks Of years, i'll health, the anX-
iety of political and the strain of social life
She is well formed, unusually tall, and has a
small, finely shaped head, crowned by light
reddish brown hair, and her voice Is that I'M
usual thing among American women, low
toned and pleasant. Really" she went on,
II do not think there has been much change
during the ten years / have lived there. The
personnel of society changes more or less
every four years, and slightly every two
years. And, of course, the incoming or
Democratic administration made decided
difference among the people who are In 'front.'
But don't think there has been much change
in the tone and purpose of society there since
have known it.
"Then you do not think it has acquired a
little more literary or intellectual flavor IN
the last few years."
ayes, believe it has turned a little moro
in the direction during the last year. But
have been out of society entirely during the
winter on account of my health, and so can
not speak decisively on that point"
"What do you think has been the causeT
"Oh, there hasn't been any immediate
cause People just got tired of the old ruts
and turned to literary matters for something
new Another respect in which the personnel
of Washington society is changing is that so
many society people from other cities go there
now to spend the winter This element has
grown quite large and is increasing. But
they simply fall in with the ordinary society
life of the city and do not attempt to change
its general character"
"People who have never lived in Washing
ton generally think there is less in its society
life than in that of any other city in the
country"
"And my opinion is that they are about
right" and Mrs. Carlisle laughed pleasantly.
"Of course, those who live there a long time
form many warm friendships, but society Is
so large and social duties are so many that
there isn't time for much else. The returning
of calls alone is large tax upon ones

PHILOSOPHY.

Life to the few is surfeit Of pleasure, :,
Gay as the butterfly slipping its sweet.
Tripping through gardens mnuet MEASURE
Happy of spirit with fairy shod feet.
Life to the many's desert of sorrow,
Heavy of heart and with plentiful tears;
Grieving to-day, with no hopes for the morrow,
Slowly they wear out the beautiful years.
Life as it is has sufficient of either
Sadness and gladness to answer our need,
Laughter and weeping, made wholly of neither;
Harvest is always the growth Of the seed.
They who go bravely, with courage believing
All is not evil, will garner the good;
They are deceived who forecast deceiving,
Benefits given are not understood.

IT is mere child's play for the
Republican papers to accuse the
advocates of tariff revision of try
ing to wreck the country. Demo-
Gratis have as much interest in the
prosperity of the United States as
the Republicans, and if they do an
unwise thing they will have to suf
fer just the same as their political
opponents. Therefore, the sooner
that the high-tariff papers descend
from the American bird and dis
cuss these questions on business
and common sense basis the better
for all concerned. AS long as they
designate the Democracy as "wreck-
ers of business, just so long Will
conservative people laugh and say:
"1'hat is absurd, for the Democrats
lust for the sake of revising the tar
iff, are not going to ruin the coun-
try, for that would mean the ruin
of themselves. s." In current tariff
discussion let us have more brains
and less buncom5e, more hard com
mon sense and less demagogism. =

ANOTHER MINING PROPERTY SAID
To EQUAL THE CoMsToCK.-The
Hartford Conn. Erening Post, pub
fishes long piece on the merits of
the Tortilita Gold and Silver Mines
of Arizona. These mines are sit
uated thirty -four miles from Tucson
and were worked for three years as
a-private enterprise-$150,0 900 hav-
ingbeen spent in their development,
and strange to say enough bullion
was taken out in this time to cover
the expense. The Post says ex-
Governor Price of New Jersey was
questioned concerning these mines
and said
CT am familiar with the country
in which the Tortilitas are located.
They are in the central aud best
part of the territory, and in an enor-
mously rich mining district. The
company has twelve mines and owns
a territory three miles long, with
over $50 acres of rich ore deposits.
/ expect to see a second Virginia
City established there, aud another
Comstock in the result of the
mines The value of the Tortilitas
is demonstrated by the the concen-
tration of the ore below the water
level in the two mines which are
now being worked which is the best
absolute test of permanency. They
have q vein of ore already exposed
42A feet wide that assays over fifty
dollars per ton, and the supply is
inexhaustibie."
Mines that pay their running ex-
penses from the start are exception
al cases, and as a general thing bid
fair to be great wealth producers to
the;y owners.
